New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 131
What is civilization? What is it based on? In the biggest picture, there are three fundamental pillars to civilization: truth, justice, and love. (You’ll notice how Biblical this is.) Truth allows us to make real, meaningful strides, and reality will punish us if we fail to keep to it. Justice is necessary to keep people functioning together and working for their society and the American Dream. But these must also be pursued with an orientation toward love, not enmity, if we are to foster a civilization instead of a tribalistic warzone. Join host James Lindsay for this important episode of New Discourses Bullets where he lays out these three crucial pillars of civilization.

Thank you James. I think this very simple concept – Truth, Justice, Love being the pillars of civilization – can give all of us (especially me) a lense with which to view much of life.
James Lindsay recognizes that the rational mind is not enough, to form a decent civilization. It also takes a profound respect for truth, justice and love (otherwise known as Christianity, in the West). He is the Pythagorus of our day. (Known for the Pythagorean Theorem, a fundamental principle in geometry that relates the sides of a right triangle.) JL works to prove the theorem, so that we don’t have to. He is the thought leader of our time. God Bless him and his family.
